Opera in V – for vibrant !

Taken at Vivid Sydney – a festival of light, music and ideas May 27 – June 21 2010

Over three weeks the city of Sydney comes alive with vibrant large scale light installations, live performances, bustling markets and much more. Vivid Sydney is the biggest event of its kind in the Southern Hemisphere and this year’s event was no exception with the lighting of historic buildings in Macquarie street and the impressive story telling through a vibrant multi media light and fire display in Campbell Cove. For me through, it is the lighting of the Opera House that continues to mesmerizes with its ever changing kaleidoscope of brilliant colour. The sight of the Opera House in its coat of many colours is a sight to behold.

This is my personal favourite in this series of photographs of Vivid Sydney 2010.

This image is also the cover page for Light Opera, My calendar on the Opera House.

It is stunning. We actually met one of the projectionists and had a peek inside one of the hubs that was projecting. It is all so cleverly done so that they shine only onto the sails of the opera house and not onto the passing boats. Technically and creatively brilliant !

Congratulations Your work placed in the Top Four in the Australia by Night challenge and has won a feature in the Destination Australia group. You have also qualified to enter the July Superchallenge. Well done :)
